Number Seventy: Trying To Capture The Moon

Last night the moon was big and bright and Essie begged me to take some pictures of it. Because I don't have a fancy camera with fantastic zoom it's actually quite difficult to take good pictures of the moon but I obliged her and took a few anyhow. They mostly ended up as grainy shots of the neighbourhood trees against the sky with the moon just a bright white dot behind them. What I liked about them was that the sky was a different colour in each set since I made a few attempts over ten or so minutes.

So of course I played around with them to see what I could create. I ended up cropping a few of them in Adobe Photoshop Express and then used the reduce noise function over and over to achieve a sort of watercolour effect. I loved the results but since the cropped photos were small I chose the three I liked the best, used Snapseed's Drama Filter on them then brought them all together in a triptych using Diptic.
